Revision from sleeve to bypass



Recommended Posts

Hell I was sleeved in 2013 I have been suffering from some severe acid reflex. I doctor said that people that suffer from acid reflex that the sleeve isn’t a good option. I am going to do a revision. Which anyone went from sleeve to bypass? Any advice? I’m nervous about the bypass. I am not sure what to expect.

I had my sleeve done in 2013 also and just had revision surgery in August this year. Reason for revision was inflamed esophagus and acid reflux caused with and without eating. I almost died during surgery as my BP dropped into the 50s and went into OR again for internal bleeding. I spent 5 days in ICU. Recovery has been a struggle and I have not returned to work yet. I am still having trouble with my levels and go back to the doctor next week. After my bloodwork results, I am concerned with my frequent diarrhea and pale stool. The gas I’m experiencing is beyond embarrassing!!!

I had a revision to RnY from my sleeve after 8 months due to reflux. The reflux is gone. The only downside is I have less restriction now than I had with my sleeve.

Revisions are different to a first time surgery*
